00:00:02,59 --> 00:00:06,14
Your life's work.

2
00:00:19,84 --> 00:00:25,71
They are created more of a man's progress
than any other are by means of printing

3
00:00:25,71 --> 00:00:30,40
the fund of knowledge accumulated through
the ages is available to everyone great

4
00:00:30,40 --> 00:00:35,92
kid and poor alike. Printing
is essential to all education.

5
00:00:35,94 --> 00:00:40,26
All the other arts rely on it.
Religious Movements depend on it.

6
00:00:41,27 --> 00:00:43,07
There is no Scott not function without it.

7
00:00:43,14 --> 00:00:48,18
Nor could government they cause of the
need for printed matter in practically all

8
00:00:48,18 --> 00:00:49,89
of man's activities.

9
00:00:49,91 --> 00:00:55,97
Printing now ranks for among the nations
great industries the wide variety of

10
00:00:55,97 --> 00:00:59,08
products of the press and the
demand for a constant supply.

11
00:00:59,73 --> 00:01:04,61
Requires the efforts of many skilled persons
in pressing permits ranging in size

12
00:01:04,61 --> 00:01:06,85
from the small one man establishment.

13
00:01:07,15 --> 00:01:13,23
To large plans employing hundreds of workers
prepping as a vocation attracts many

14
00:01:13,23 --> 00:01:13,83
young men

15
00:01:13,83 --> 00:01:18,41
and women because it offers real
opportunities for steady work good pay

16
00:01:18,41 --> 00:01:19,56
and advancement.

17
00:01:20,75 --> 00:01:22,14
That trade has several branches

18
00:01:22,14 --> 00:01:28,47
and numerous allied industry the most
familiar braincell letterpress printing has

19
00:01:28,47 --> 00:01:30,26
three distinct types of work.

20
00:01:30,37 --> 00:01:34,80
These are first composition
the preparation of the type

21
00:01:34,80 --> 00:01:39,45
or other matter to be printed for
the press is second press work.

22
00:01:39,67 --> 00:01:44,17
The actual printing of the composed
matter on paper or some other substance

23
00:01:44,92 --> 00:01:50,73
and third buying to rework the folding are
joining together of the credit she into

24
00:01:50,73 --> 00:01:55,55
various forms so that they
may be sent to the public.

25
00:01:55,57 --> 00:01:59,95
In the composing room of a good
sized printing firm. They do the.

26
00:02:00,00 --> 00:02:01,56
These are divided among several employees.

27
00:02:02,08 --> 00:02:04,73
Specializing in various
phases of the work.

28
00:02:05,89 --> 00:02:09,19
The company for a job to be printed
goes first in the markup may.

29
00:02:10,44 --> 00:02:15,44
The markup man must have a thorough
knowledge of the art of printing he decides

30
00:02:15,44 --> 00:02:19,24
what styles and sizes of type will
produce an attractive result.

31
00:02:19,71 --> 00:02:23,19
He indicates the parts to
be set by hand compositors

32
00:02:23,19 --> 00:02:26,05
and those to be set by machine operators.

33
00:02:26,67 --> 00:02:29,79
Although a great part of today's
type is sent to mechanically.

34
00:02:30,18 --> 00:02:35,97
Hand compositors are employed by all large
commercial printing clients newspapers

35
00:02:35,97 --> 00:02:41,34
and publishing houses have a composite
here is usually set the large type called

36
00:02:41,34 --> 00:02:45,89
display line used in advertisement
and other printed matter.

37
00:02:45,91 --> 00:02:49,53
And composition offers opportunities
for artistic expression.

38
00:02:50,97 --> 00:02:53,98
Composite who have the ability
to create original ideas

39
00:02:53,98 --> 00:02:59,17
or a highly paid Craftsman the work
requires manual dexterity good eyesight

40
00:02:59,17 --> 00:03:01,35
and thoroughness.

41
00:03:01,37 --> 00:03:02,64
Lyta tithes

42
00:03:02,64 --> 00:03:07,15
and other typesetting machines are used
for the part of the copy called Straight

43
00:03:07,15 --> 00:03:12,93
matter consisting of many lines of
the same length and size of type.

44
00:03:12,95 --> 00:03:17,42
The line a type operator manipulates a
keyboard to assemble lines of characters

45
00:03:18,12 --> 00:03:24,57
which come in contact with motion type metal
to produce the lines or slugs of type.

46
00:03:24,58 --> 00:03:29,34
These slugs are molded into lengths required
by the job they are the right height

47
00:03:29,34 --> 00:03:30,19
for the presses

48
00:03:30,19 --> 00:03:35,99
and the words are spaced correctly in the
line line a type of operators must work

49
00:03:35,99 --> 00:03:41,54
speedily and accurately and be efficient
in spelling punctuation word division

50
00:03:41,54 --> 00:03:47,91
and printers arithmetic some printing firms
have monetized machines which consist

51
00:03:47,91 --> 00:03:54,87
of two separate units the
keyboard and the casting machine.

52
00:03:54,89 --> 00:03:59,86
When the Monotype keyboard operator presses
the keys punches driven by a come.

53
00:04:00,00 --> 00:04:02,81
Just air perforated paper ribbon
at the top of the machine.

54
00:04:04,03 --> 00:04:06,81
When the operator finishes
the ribbon is removed

55
00:04:06,81 --> 00:04:12,03
and placed in the casting machine the
perforated paper controls the movements of

56
00:04:12,03 --> 00:04:17,51
the machine causing it to produce individual
type characters set in properly spaced

57
00:04:17,51 --> 00:04:23,31
lines. There are other kinds of
typesetting machines but the Monotype

58
00:04:23,31 --> 00:04:24,51
and line a type.

59
00:04:24,66 --> 00:04:29,92
I've typical example is when a page of
type has been set either by a machine

60
00:04:29,92 --> 00:04:34,09
or by hand it is placed
in a small proof pressed

61
00:04:34,09 --> 00:04:36,06
and printed on a large piece of paper.

62
00:04:37,27 --> 00:04:42,08
This leaves wide margins around the type
where the proof reader indicates mistakes

63
00:04:42,08 --> 00:04:46,98
to be corrected it is the proofreaders
responsibility to find all errors in

64
00:04:46,98 --> 00:04:49,97
spelling punctuation antipoverty.

65
00:04:50,52 --> 00:04:55,33
Large plans employed persons usually
women who do nothing but proofread

66
00:04:56,16 --> 00:05:00,10
but in some shops this job may be done
by the foreman or head up for it or.

67
00:05:00,52 --> 00:05:04,99
After mistakes have been corrected
all that type of an engraved plate

68
00:05:04,99 --> 00:05:09,30
or a single page must be assembled
in a large printing firm

69
00:05:09,30 --> 00:05:16,12
and this work is done by specialists called
makeup man in the lock up Department

70
00:05:16,12 --> 00:05:21,16
workers called Stone men assemble many
pages of type and a single forms.

71
00:05:21,83 --> 00:05:25,52
But there are several different ways in
which the matter to be printed is prepared

72
00:05:25,52 --> 00:05:26,09
for the press

73
00:05:26,09 --> 00:05:32,22
and it all depends on the kind of press
to be used Platzman presses are used on

74
00:05:32,22 --> 00:05:34,30
small jobs such as letter heads

75
00:05:34,30 --> 00:05:40,25
or hand nails some of these prices are
hand fed on other smaller job prices

76
00:05:40,25 --> 00:05:42,23
and ingenious device feeds

77
00:05:42,23 --> 00:05:47,37
that pay for automatically there are
automatic cylinder presses for long runs of

78
00:05:47,37 --> 00:05:50,18
small work.

79
00:05:50,20 --> 00:05:54,92
It all set presses the matter to be printed
is first impressed from a zinc plate to

80
00:05:54,92 --> 00:05:59,71
a special rubber roller then
transferred to the paper and.

81
00:06:00,00 --> 00:06:01,35
Printing magazines books

82
00:06:01,35 --> 00:06:06,74
and newspapers there are immense high
speed rotary presses which printing both

83
00:06:06,74 --> 00:06:11,97
sides of the paper in one operation turn
out thousands of folded copies per hour

84
00:06:13,38 --> 00:06:17,70
but no matter what kind of price is
used up price men must be a skilled

85
00:06:17,70 --> 00:06:19,12
conscientious worker.

86
00:06:20,14 --> 00:06:22,92
He is in charge of expensive
machinery and materials

87
00:06:23,63 --> 00:06:27,83
and the quality of the work
produced depends on his ability.

88
00:06:27,84 --> 00:06:32,45
Therefore a job can be printed the
price men must make ready and

89
00:06:32,45 --> 00:06:37,78
that is compensate for inequalities and
pressure of a paper against the play.

90
00:06:37,80 --> 00:06:42,86
This is done by building up portions of the
impressions surface with thin pieces of

91
00:06:42,86 --> 00:06:45,13
paper cut to the proper shape so

92
00:06:45,13 --> 00:06:50,66
that the pressure is equalised up Pressman
must know how to adjust his press to all

93
00:06:50,66 --> 00:06:54,66
kinds of paper and secure
mechanical accuracy throughout.

94
00:06:56,12 --> 00:06:58,79
He must have an eye for
intensity of color and see

95
00:06:58,79 --> 00:07:00,89
that the king is uniform at all times.

96
00:07:02,36 --> 00:07:04,99
And press men should be able
to supervise assistants.

97
00:07:05,42 --> 00:07:09,97
One of many plans an experienced man may
be responsible for the proper functioning

98
00:07:09,97 --> 00:07:15,74
of several prices operated by a practice
of the printing trades acquire most of

99
00:07:15,74 --> 00:07:21,17
their new workers through a pretty
shift or training on the job.

100
00:07:21,18 --> 00:07:22,30
Sumburgh cation

101
00:07:22,30 --> 00:07:25,59
and schools offer training which
can be taken during apprenticeship

102
00:07:25,59 --> 00:07:26,70
or previous to it.

103
00:07:27,95 --> 00:07:31,91
Vocational School training alone does
not always produce skilled workers

104
00:07:32,70 --> 00:07:36,11
but it does enable a person to decide
whether he is truly interested

105
00:07:36,11 --> 00:07:38,50
and suitable for the work.

106
00:07:38,52 --> 00:07:42,16
And the course of training is a range to
give the students a good background in

107
00:07:42,16 --> 00:07:43,86
pretty.

108
00:07:43,88 --> 00:07:48,47
Usually a student starts with hand
composition because all of the fundamental

109
00:07:48,47 --> 00:07:53,75
principles of printing are derived from
it through a series of prepared lessons

110
00:07:53,75 --> 00:07:58,97
these principles are thoroughly fixed in
the student's mind the lessons include

111
00:07:58,97 --> 00:08:03,48
instruction in spell. Word
division proofreading punctuation

112
00:08:03,48 --> 00:08:09,58
and printers arithmetic after completing
the hand composition course a student is

113
00:08:09,58 --> 00:08:11,26
eligible for work in the press room.

114
00:08:12,52 --> 00:08:18,56
Here he begins his study on a small
hand job press after mastering it.

115
00:08:18,69 --> 00:08:21,35
He is advanced to the
small automatic presses.

116
00:08:21,72 --> 00:08:25,32
But there is a great deal to be learned
before a student can assume the

117
00:08:25,32 --> 00:08:30,94
responsibility of operating the large
cylinder presses above all he must thoroughly

118
00:08:30,94 --> 00:08:32,53
understand the mechanism.

119
00:08:33,19 --> 00:08:37,41
Thus press work is particularly fitted for
a young man who would like to work with

120
00:08:37,41 --> 00:08:39,22
machinery.

121
00:08:39,24 --> 00:08:43,93
Students studying to become line a type
operators must have mechanical knowledge

122
00:08:43,93 --> 00:08:46,90
too but here the emphasis is on speed

123
00:08:46,90 --> 00:08:51,89
and accuracy usually anyone who
has mastered the typewriter.

124
00:08:52,49 --> 00:08:54,67
Can learn to operate that
line of type keyboard

125
00:08:54,67 --> 00:09:00,60
but he must also learn composition a student
who successfully completes the course

126
00:09:00,60 --> 00:09:00,83
of study

127
00:09:00,83 --> 00:09:05,96
and some phase of printing at a vocational
school is prepared to enter the printing

128
00:09:05,96 --> 00:09:11,62
industry on a basis leading to worthwhile
remuneration the chances of securing

129
00:09:11,62 --> 00:09:15,75
employment are normally good while
there are thousands of large printing

130
00:09:15,75 --> 00:09:19,37
establishments in the country and
many smaller shops and newspapers

131
00:09:20,79 --> 00:09:25,17
and work in the printing trade is not
seasonal It goes on the year round.

132
00:09:25,67 --> 00:09:26,98
Regardless of sunshine

133
00:09:26,98 --> 00:09:33,39
or rain working conditions are generally
satisfactory as to housing hygiene

134
00:09:33,39 --> 00:09:35,46
and hours.

135
00:09:35,48 --> 00:09:40,42
If you think you would be interested in
printing as a vocation investigate its

136
00:09:40,42 --> 00:09:40,79
possibilities

137
00:09:41,70 --> 00:09:45,96
and prepare yourself accordingly for the
phase of the work for which you are best

138
00:09:45,96 --> 00:09:49,45
suited to the printing
industry needs young men

139
00:09:49,45 --> 00:09:52,22
and women in its composing
rooms where thoughts

140
00:09:52,22 --> 00:09:57,58
and ideas are fashioned into type it needs
mechanically minded young men in its

141
00:09:57,58 --> 00:10:01,16
press rooms to operate
the intricate. Scenery.

142
00:10:01,18 --> 00:10:05,79
It is a growing industry high on the list
of those offering stability of wages

143
00:10:05,79 --> 00:10:09,33
and employment. Higher
proportion of salaried positions

144
00:10:09,33 --> 00:10:11,40
and real opportunities for advancement.

145
00:10:12,73 --> 00:10:15,47
Perhaps you will find a
